Clemson University Organic Certification Program in partnership with The Southeast Transition to Organic Partnership Program (SE TOPP) invites you to attend the Train the Trainer event for Organic Certification. This free event will provide a general overview of organic certification and tools to service providers to better serve transitioning and existing organic farmers. The main topics covered are Organic System Plans (OSP), organic regulations, organic crop practices and addressing misconceptions of organic certification. The training will also include a mock inspection to provide a firsthand look at an organic inspection and recordkeeping requirements. This training is geared towards service providers of organic farmers. Please bring your laptop and dress for the farm visit. Limited travel assistance has been made possible through a SCSARE sponsorship for 5 workshop participants. Please contact Gavin Berry for additional information or to apply (you must be a SC resident and work in agriculture).  Training for Farmers will be announced in 2024.
